Its not the app that’s important its the users… Just ask Google, Facebook Amazon.
They all have one thing in common. 1 app to one million users. Who do you think these app Giants would use for a service if they had to choose between glide and appsheet.
With App sheet there is no future for the developer making money by reselling apps. Only thing you can do is build an app for yourself and share it with your friend.
Many glide users like myself have a hope for earning money.
Anyway while I was using appsheet I built about 30 apps and have never activated the user side data option.
Because just as important as having unlimited users, its being in control of the users data. This preserves the integrity of the services you provide just in the same way face book, Amazon and Google controls your data.
Look, just turn on the delete button so they can delete anything at their whim, that’s as much data control app users need.
Side note.
I called my bank the other day, and in order to conduct business she asked me for my information so she could “pull up” my account.
The irony is she already has all my information and could pull it up at anytime whether I give her my info or not.Its the illusion of security that America has that’s keeping us quiet.
You need to sell your app as being secure, private and when your users ask you for support, ask them to “give you their account access code” so you can pull up their account. You can further ask, “may i have permission to look at your account.”
Just don’t go around telling your users ha ha, I can see your data… That’s bad business. Its like a gynecologist telling their patients… (You get the drift.)
Practice etiquette and professionalism and your users will feel secure with you seeing their most intimate information.
Suggestions
Add privacy statements
Have strict app developer standards.
Communicate your values.
The guarantee and security you give your users should come from you, not a line of code.
Computer codes changes often but our principles rarely do. Let them trust you not the app.
Finally lets not give glide reasons to charge us any more money. The reason why i spend time helping you finding solutions is that it’s cheaper than having glide build the solution in the App
Glide has already added some unnecessary features that were present in Google sheet. Glide has also started charging for using stripe payment integration, another free feature.
Glide is in the business of making money, the more solutions i provide to the community, the least likely they’ll charge me for free things I already have and don’t need or will never use.
